Actually I find that being SS has given me the opportunity to enjoy life...and more than a bit!! While the economy concerns me, I don't feel the need to fret about it. It is because we have become self-sufficient that we don't have to spend our time worrying...I know that I can keep my family...

Actually I believe that after a period of inactivity, the bank can close the account, but the funds are sent to the state's esheats account. You should check with the State of California's State Controller's office. Most states have millions of dollars in unclaimed funds from banks, income...
